1t is. however, suggested by cor

Paving Reverence to a Hair.

At Karachi, India, on the Indus River,
is low, square building, which is a
great and much reverenced resort for
large numbers of Mohammedans each
year. They swarm there from all parts
of the surrounding province to look at
and pay reverence to hair which was
originally plucked from the beard of Ma
homet. This sacred relic is said to be
inclosed in amber and kept in beautiful
case Of gold, which is thickly studded
with emcralds and rIbies. This relic is
in possession of a family of Sheeahs who
have owned this same spot for over six
hundred years, and who claim to be di-
rect descendants of Fatimah, the daugh-
ter of Mahomet and wife of Ali.

A Leper Colony.

Touching at Molokai, we were afforded
an excellent opportunity for inspecting
the leper colony established there. Many
of these unfortunates were found to be in
the last stages of the disease. The sight
of these poor creatures would serve to ex-
cite the curiosity of only the most morbid
nature. Their cheerfulness, even when
rendered incapable Of locomotion by the
ravages of the disease, is somewhat re-
markable, while their number includes
many Europeans, the Chinese being by
far in excess of all other nations.
The disease is said to be rather constit-
uent in character than the result of
cutaneous inoculation, as might be er-
roneously supposed. Science, however,
has not been enabled to do much toward
relieving the sufferings of these poor peo-
people, although their wants appeared to
be generously provided for through the
liberality of the government and that Of
foreign residents. The disease is contag-
ious, while the hopeless misery of many
of its victims in Hawaii would Justly ex-
cite the pity of any beholder. One fea-
ture of the disease as explained by my in
formant is the fact that there are many
persons now living at Molokai who for
years prior to their arrival there us pa
tients had been living in various parts Of
the kingdom in utter ignorance Of the APP
palling fact that leprosy was insidiously
attacking the system.
One instance in point was that of an
aged Catholic priest, who discovered his
deplorable condition only after an acci-
dental breaking of a lighted lamp. 1t
fnlloNvpd in bie coeo 4hot bilc rcp,ov; psr
some of the hot fragments in his effort to
prevent any further damage, he found
that he had lost the sense Of feeling in
his right hand. Instantly divining that
he was afflicted with the dread malady,
he heroically sought refuge among others
at the leper settlement on Molokai, where
believe he died several years since

The OrIOR Diamond.

This magnificent gem, which in it,
rough state formed the eye of an idol il
a temple near Trinchinopoli, was stolen
by Frenchman, who escaped with his
prize to Persia, and who, fearful OF being
discovered, was glad to dispose of his
ill-gotten gear for a sum of about e., 000
The man who bought the stone, a Jew
ish merchant, sold it to one Shrafras, an
Armenian, for El2, 900 Shafras hao
conceived the idea that by carrying the
stone to Russia he would obtain from the
Empress, Catharine the Great, a princely
sum for it. How to travel in safety
with the stone, the theft of which had
of course been discovered and pro
claimed, became a.grave consideration
1t was too large to swallow, and no nc :
of concealment presented itself to Shat
ras that seemed secure from discovery.
The way in which he solved the problem
was remarkable. lie made q deep in.
cision in the tieshy part of his left leg,
in which he inserted the stone, closing
the wound carefully by sewing it un
with silver thread. When the wound
healed, the Armenian merchant set out
on his travels quite boldly, and although
more than once apprehended, vigorously
searched, and even tortured little, he
was obdurate, aud firmly denied having
the stone in his possession. Having at
length reached his destination he asked
from the Empress the sum of $40, 900 for
the gem, an amount of money which
Catharine was unable to raise at the
moment. We next find the Armenian
at Amsterdam with the intention OF
having his diamond cut. Here the stone
was seen by Count Orloff, who deter.
mined to purchase it for resentation to
his royal mistress, the Empress Cathar,
inc. The sum ultimately paid for the
gem was about $50, 900 sterling in cash,
together with an annuity of $500 and a
patent of nobility. Shafras fourished
exceedingly and died a millionaire.
Such, in brief, is the story of the OrloG

There are treasures laid up in the heart,
treasures of charity, piety, temperance

A Russian DrOshka.

The Russian embassy has among its
paraphernaia genuine droshka, which
vehicle is attracting much attention,
says Washington letter to the New
York Sun. 1t is a ridiculous little con.
ccrn, something like child's phatou
without canopy. The seats are two in
number, one for the driver and one fol
the occupant, neither being more than
wide enough for one person. 1t is low,
very low, not more than two feet from
the ground. The wheels have spokes ol
iron wire, like bicycle. On the from
seat sits an immense Cossack, weighing
at least 800 pounds, with great yellow
beard and red checks and a plain Rus
sian square-topped cap, and on the real
seat is very small Russian diplomat
The vehicle is drawn by an enormou:
long-tailed stallion, and the effect whcr
you stand in front is that of frantic
horse, all hair and legs. Upon the whole
it is a very absurd affair, though doubt
less the jeunesse doree will initiate tn,

StiIt0n C1ecSe.

The rich imported cheese known as
Stilton is made in England in a narrow
locality in the county of Leicester. It
was first made by Mrs. Paulet for an
inn-keeper named Cooper Thornhill, and
in compliance with his directions. The
cheese is now one of the most popular
of all English makes, and has a rich,
delicate favor, due to a peculiar process
Of making and ripening. 1t is made of
the whole mornings milk, to which is
added the cream of the previous nights
milk. The milk is warmed to only seven
ty-eight degrees, and is curdled at that
temperature with a small quantity Of
rennet. The curd is cut in large blocks,
and is dipped out into cylindrical molds
about eight inches in diameter and ten
or eleven inches deep. The only pressure
applied is the weight OF the curd, as the
mold is reversed daily, so that the press
ure Of the cheese presses out the whey.
The curing is perfected by means of q
blue and green mould, which is caused to
penetrate through the cheese by prick
ing the curd with long needle first
pushed into an old cheese, by which the
INV cheese is inoculated with the fer
ment. Two years are required to com.
plete the curing. The cheese sells in
England at about sixty-three cents a
pound, and weighs from eight to ten
pounds.

CoRNERING CoAL.-The Phila-

have issued circular advancing
the price of anthracite coal on and
after October 1st. Several reasons
are given for this advance which is
so cents on being an advance of 8
per cent. in the wages of the min
ers. The average pay of the min
ers is from 10 to SO cents a ton, so
an advance of s per cent. on the
outside wage would be 1 cents yet
these protected monopolists make
an advance on the consumer of so
per cent. on original cost. Coal is
an article of daily use in nearly
every family in the land and an alb
solute household necessity. The
American people are long suffer-
ing people but there is q point at
which forberance ceases to be a vir-

such outspoken demands will be
